Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Colston Loveland [Cracked Ice] #2 sells for $1,461 against $328 raw: a $1,134 spread, 4.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($516) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
